Activity description

At the ijgd national office, we work together with the teams of the regional associations to organise international workcamps in Germany and create opportunities for young people to take part in workcamps outside Germany. You would mainly work in our office and help to prepare, organise and evaluate our annual workcamp season. You will also be able to participate in workcamps and trainings and lead your own international workcamp in Germany. Every year we organise between 50 and 60 work camps in Germany. Our target group is young people between the ages of 14 and 26. On the one hand, we want to use the workcamps to promote civic engagement among young people and to support charitable projects in the local community. Please note that we will only consider applications received at esc-hi@ijgd.de. Please send us your CV and a letter of motivation.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

We are looking for a room in a shared flat here in Hannover, where you will have access to the internet, a shared bath and kitchen and your own room. We want to have a look for the room together with you during our preparation training. You will take care of your own meals with the money you receive. We will provide you with a bicycle and a monthly ticket for public transport for all of Germany.

Training during the activity

You have many opportunities to learn with us. We would like to support you. You will have the opportunity to go to a language course. During your time here with us you will have regular reflection meetings with us.

Participant profile

A big component of our work is the contact with the young people in our camps and in our team. Therefore, we are looking for a person who is courageous to get in touch with people. Being open and inviting, interested in the topics of the association and courageously approaching other people and situations are qualities that will make your start with us easier. We do not expect any special educational qualifications. An interest in international youth work and perhaps some experience in voluntary work are helpful.
